Into The Paranormal, Podcast With Tony Brueski

In the early 1970s, a family moved into what seemed like the perfect suburban home just outside of Boston. But what starts as an innocent curiosity quickly becomes a lifelong mystery filled with strange noises, moving objects, and phantom figures. The narrator, just a child at the time, experiences unexplained events—footsteps in the attic, lamps turning on by themselves, and strange electronic malfunctions that defy logic. The most unsettling discovery? Two human teeth, found a year apart, in the exact same place in the basement Mud Room.

As the family confronts these bizarre incidents, they uncover strange local history—a massive fire, old artifacts buried nearby, and hints of a past that refuses to stay buried. While the father believes the presence feeds on fear, the narrator can’t help but wonder if they were dealing with more than just poltergeist activity. What happens when the things that haunt us refuse to leave? And what do you do when the unexplained follows you, waiting for the next moment to strike?

In the quiet town of Brakpan, a couple buys a rundown house with a colorful past, only to discover that the house has more stories to tell than they bargained for. From the moment they move in, footsteps echo through the wooden floors, objects disappear without explanation, and light fixtures seem determined to crash to the ground. The occasional sighting of a short, curly-haired woman adds an eerie layer to the haunting—one that refuses to be ignored.

As the couple digs deeper, they uncover strange objects hidden in the backyard: a snake’s skin sewn inside a pouch filled with herbs. Burning it brings a temporary peace, but small, unsettling events continue—a glass that cracks on its own, dogs howling in unison, and glowing lights appear in the backyard. Now, the couple must decide whether the spirit that haunts their home is simply seeking attention—or if something darker lurks beneath the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

A family moves into a freshly built house in Cape Town, and all seemed perfect until it wasn’t. For one teenager, excitement over newfound independence quickly turns to terror as strange events unfold: a pet refuses to sleep in her room, voices shout warnings in the night, and something tries to enter her locked bedroom. Even after the family leaves, the nightmares persist, pulling her back to that house, where an unseen force seems to await her in every dream.

Was this a haunting tied to the land, or was something much darker drawn to her vulnerability? Join us as we delve into the unnerving events that turned a brand-new home into a lifelong nightmare and ponder the question: can you ever really leave a haunting behind? 

When a couple buys a 200-year-old farmhouse to start their business, they expect a few challenges—but dealing with spirits wasn’t in the business plan. What begins as an exciting renovation project soon turns into a nightmare as full-bodied apparitions, disembodied voices, and poltergeist activity become part of their daily lives.
As employees and customers report strange encounters—like a soldier in uniform vanishing into thin air and a child seeing a man in an orange shirt no one else can—the couple realizes their business has become a spiritual train station.

With spirits coming and going, some friendly and others dangerous, they learn the hard way that even their home, miles away from the farmhouse, isn’t safe from the haunting. There’s no escape when the spirits know where you live.

After years of paranormal encounters in their youth, the narrator makes a conscious decision to close themselves off from the spiritual world, becoming a self-described “ghost-repellent.” Wherever they go, spiritual activity seems to vanish—until they find a charming house for rent that refuses to stay quiet.

On move-in day, the house immediately makes its presence known, calling the narrator’s name and opening the back door repeatedly. But when the narrator calmly sets boundaries with the spirit, the disturbances cease—except for one chilling moment when a baking pan flies across the kitchen. With no intention of investigating further, the narrator accepts the silent coexistence, believing that sometimes, the best way to handle a haunting is to acknowledge it without fear.

In this true story, a student at a boarding school in Scarborough, UK, finds herself drawn into a mystery lurking within the walls of an old house built in 1887. When a vivid dream introduces her to a lonely girl in an old-fashioned dress, the narrator dismisses it as just another odd dream—until strange noises and unexplained events in her dormitory begin to escalate.

As the narrator uncovers unsettling connections between the dream and her encounters, she starts to suspect that the ghost girl might be waiting for someone to save her. With flickering lights, an angry wind, and a hair-tugging encounter that sends chills down her spine, the narrator realizes that some spirits refuse to stay silent. This haunting tale leaves one lingering question: Will the girl ever find peace?

A night drive through rural England that takes a terrifying turn.

This story delves into the unsettling sensations of being watched, the mysterious weight of paranormal dread, and the challenge of confronting an experience that defies logic.

In this eerie story of unexpected terror, a newlywed couple finds their new life together disrupted by an unseen presence in their old basement apartment in American Fork, Utah. Initially dismissing strange occurrences as quirks of the house, they soon find themselves face-to-face with something far more sinister. Their peaceful home is turned upside down by nightly visits from strange orbs, unexplained movements of jewelry, and the chilling appearance of a man standing at the end of their bed.

The couple enlists the help of a local paranormal investigation team, uncovering disturbing signs that suggest the spirit may be malevolent. When even prayers and blessings fail to rid the home of the entity, a mysterious ring from the wife’s father becomes the key to stopping the activity. But how does this ring connect to the dark figure they captured on camera? And why did the father warn them to remove it from their home immediately?

A family’s dream of owning a lake house turns into a nightmare when they discover that they’re not the only ones living there. At first, the family chalks up the strange occurrences to the quirks of an old house—creaky floors, cold drafts, and doors that don’t stay shut. But soon, it becomes clear that something else is at play. Ghostly figures appear near the lake at night, cold spots materialize in the warmest parts of the house, and whispers echo through the halls. The most terrifying part? The activity seems to be centered around one member of the family as if the spirit is targeting them specifically.

This episode unpacks the terror of being haunted not just by a house but by the land itself. The family is left to wonder if the lake itself holds the key to the haunting or if something darker is trying to take control of their lives.

The darkness holds many secrets, but in this episode, it’s the whispers that are the most terrifying. Late at night, when the house is quiet, the storyteller begins to hear faint whispers—voices that seem to come from the walls themselves. At first, they’re unintelligible, just background noise that could easily be mistaken for the wind. But soon, the whispers become louder, clearer, and more menacing. They call out in the dead of night, sometimes even using the storyteller’s name. The shadows in the house start to move, creeping closer as the whispers grow stronger. This haunting escalates until it feels like the very house is alive with dark energy, intent on tormenting the person living there.

This episode dives into the eerie and unsettling experiences of a family haunted by a child spirit that refuses to stay unseen. Doors slam, toys move on their own, and the presence grows stronger every day. Is it a playful spirit, or is there something darker lurking beneath the surface? And why does the child remain unseen, always just out of sight?

Can a haunting follow you, even after you leave the place it started? In this episode, we explore the terrifying story of someone who has been haunted not by a house, but by an entity that seems attached to them personally. What began as a childhood experience of seeing dark, watching eyes in the corners of their room has followed them into adulthood. Even after moving homes and cities, the presence remains. It’s always watching, always waiting, and now, it’s becoming more active. This haunting isn’t tied to a location—it’s tied to the storyteller, and no matter where they go, the eyes in the dark follow.

This episode delves into the psychological torment of being pursued by something you can’t escape and the terrifying realization that no place is safe from the entity that’s latched onto you.

A townhouse should feel like home, a place of comfort, but in this chilling episode, it becomes the site of an ongoing haunting.

At first, the homeowner thinks it’s just a trick of the mind or a quirk of the old building, but soon, other strange occurrences begin to happen. Shadows flicker in the corners of their vision, furniture moves on its own, and the temperature in certain rooms drops to an unbearable chill.

The most disturbing part? It all seems connected to the previous occupant, whose belongings still remain in the attic, untouched for years. The homeowner discovers that this isn’t just a case of a spirit attached to a place—it’s a haunting tied to the very objects left behind. But what happens when those memories come to life, and the music playing is the soundtrack to something much darker?

The Ouija board has been the subject of many stories, but in this episode, we hear from someone who used one—and never escaped the consequences. What starts as an innocent game among friends turns into a lifelong haunting, with a dark spirit that calls itself "John" attaching itself to the storyteller. At first, the entity seems playful, but as the years go on, its true nature is revealed. The once harmless spirit becomes more aggressive, manifesting in terrifying ways—dark shadows moving through the house, cold spots, whispers in the dark, and even physical contact.

This episode explores the dangers of dabbling in the paranormal and the very real consequences that can follow when you invite something into your life that refuses to leave. Was "John" ever just a spirit, or was it something far more dangerous from the very beginning?

What if the darkness could hold you down, paralyze you, and make you feel completely helpless? This story takes you into the terrifying world of a man who becomes the victim of an entity that seems to feed off his fear and immobilizes him night after night. It’s not just sleep paralysis—it’s something far darker. As the episodes become more frequent and intense, the man starts to feel the entity even when awake. It’s no longer confined to the shadows of the night; it’s following him into his everyday life. Is it a manifestation of his worst fears, or is there truly something paranormal at play?

The boundaries between reality and nightmare blur as the entity tightens its grip on his life, forcing him to confront not only the haunting but the very nature of his own fears.

Imagine being haunted for over a decade. In this episode, we explore the story of a family tormented by an unseen presence for 13 long years. It started with small things—keys disappearing, footsteps in empty rooms—but it became something far more threatening over the years. The entity seems to have latched onto the family, following them through multiple homes, never allowing them peace. Attempts to rid themselves of the spirit have failed; now, it’s as if the entity has become part of their lives. As the years go on, its presence becomes stronger, more violent, and harder to ignore. From terrifying apparitions to physical attacks, this family’s haunting isn’t just a temporary phase—it’s a constant, oppressive force that they can’t escape. 

This episode dives into the emotional and psychological toll that a long-term haunting can take, and asks the question: What happens when you can’t just move away from a haunting? What do you do when the entity becomes part of your very existence?

Moving into a new apartment is supposed to be an exciting time, but for one person, it became the start of an unnerving nightmare. What began as subtle, unexplained occurrences—an odd cold draft on a warm day, strange noises in the middle of the night—soon escalated into a terrifying presence that seemed intent on taking over not just the apartment but the occupant’s mind. As days turn to weeks, dark thoughts start to creep in, thoughts that don’t feel like their own. The cold in the apartment isn’t just physical; it’s emotional. It’s psychological.

This story chronicles the slow and insidious infiltration of an unseen entity, one that chips away at the mental and emotional state of its target until they’re left questioning their sanity. Can an apartment be haunted, or is this a case of an individual’s inner demons taking shape? And when the entity begins to manifest in more aggressive ways, can it be stopped before it drives its victim to the edge?

What happens when curiosity turns into a dangerous obsession? This episode is the story of a woman who becomes captivated by a dark presence in her home, one that starts off subtly but quickly grows in power and influence. At first, the spirit manifests in small ways—cold drafts, objects moving on their own, flickering lights—but soon, the woman finds herself seeking out the entity, lured by an inexplicable attraction to the darkness.

This isn't just a ghost—it’s something far more malevolent and feeds off the attention and energy she gives it. As her connection with the spirit deepens, she loses herself, becoming more isolated from her friends, family, and even reality. Her once-normal life spirals into a terrifying descent as the spirit's hold over her becomes nearly impossible to break. This haunting tale explores the dangerous side of the supernatural, where curiosity turns to obsession, and the lines between the living and the dead become fatally blurred.

This isn’t just a ghost story—it’s a tale of demonic seduction, where the line between dreams and reality becomes terrifyingly blurred. In this episode, we explore the experience of a woman who finds herself entangled with an incubus, a demonic entity that thrives on lust and desire.

At first, the encounters come through vivid, disturbingly intimate dreams that leave her feeling drained and disturbed upon waking. But soon, the visits stop being confined to sleep. The incubus starts appearing in her waking life, manifesting in shadowy forms and creating a dark, overwhelming presence in her home. As the entity grows stronger, it begins to invade her thoughts, her space, and even her relationships. 

This story doesn’t just delve into the experience of a haunting but also into the psychological toll of being targeted by something so dark and intimate. Is this demonic entity feeding off her fears, or is it something she’s unknowingly invited into her life? And most importantly, how do you fight something that knows you so well that it can seduce and torment you with the deepest corners of your mind?

Have you ever felt a connection to someone you’ve never met? In this haunting episode, a storyteller recalls growing up feeling inexplicably close to their late grandfather—someone they never had the chance to meet in life. At first, the experiences were subtle—comforting feelings, an occasional shadow in their peripheral vision, a presence they felt watching over them. But as they got older, those feelings shifted from comforting to unnerving. The shadows became clearer, more pronounced, and soon the presence wasn’t just watching, it was interacting.

Is the spirit of their grandfather still tied to them, reaching across the veil to offer protection? Does that protection come with a price? The lines between love and fear blur as the unseen presence becomes stronger, and what was once a source of comfort starts to feel like an unwanted attachment. This story explores the idea of ancestral spirits and unseen connections, along with the darker side of having a constant, unseen companion that might not always have your best interests at heart.

Can a family member's spirit become much darker, or is another entity masquerading as a loved one?

Children have wild imaginations; sometimes, their imaginary friends are written off as harmless. But what happens when that "imaginary" friend knows too much? When a child's playmate seems more real than make-believe? In this story, a mother realizes that her child’s imaginary friend isn’t as innocent as she first thought. At first, the games and conversations seem typical, but soon, the child begins sharing details about the "friend" they couldn’t possibly know. As the story unfolds, the invisible playmate starts making demands, giving instructions, and pushing boundaries in increasingly sinister ways. The child insists the friend is real, and strange occurrences around the house back up that claim—doors closing on their own, toys moving, and cold spots in the child's bedroom. Things escalate until the presence becomes undeniable. It’s not long before the entire family is caught in the grip of fear, with the invisible friend taking control of their lives.

What started as an innocent childhood imagination turns into a horrifying ordeal of possession and manipulation. Is the family dealing with a powerful spirit or something much darker that has attached itself to the most innocent member of the household?

Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon many people experience, but what happens when it takes on a much darker, more sinister edge? In this episode, we dive into the harrowing experience of a person whose sleep is no longer a place of peace but a nightly battle with shadowy figures that pin them down, leaving them completely helpless. The terror becomes all too real when these apparitions start to feel less like hallucinations and more like entities with a malicious purpose.

Are these simply byproducts of a stressed and fatigued mind, or could something far more insidious be at work? Imagine waking up, fully conscious yet completely paralyzed, while something dark and malevolent hovers over you, waiting, watching, pressing its weight into your chest until you can’t breathe. This isn’t just one night of terror but a repeated cycle that leaves the storyteller questioning their very sanity. 

Throughout this episode, we’ll explore the thin line between sleep paralysis and the paranormal, dissect the phenomenon of nocturnal visitors, and ask the uncomfortable question: What if these figures aren’t just in your head?

In this chilling true story, a woman shares her experiences with the paranormal, beginning in her teenage years and continuing into adulthood. From posters fluttering mysteriously in her room to dark shadow figures standing by her bed, her encounters with the unknown escalate in intensity. Things take a dark turn when she experiences physical contact from an otherworldly entity that seems to follow her, showing up in different homes and even touching her while she sleeps. Along the way, she encounters strange music playing from broken toys, missing pets that reappear as ghostly apparitions, and unexplained phenomena that leave her questioning reality.

This story is a testament to how some forces in our lives remain just out of sight, always lurking, always waiting. As the narrator comes to realize, the unexplained doesn’t simply disappear—it’s just waiting for the right moment to return.

In this chilling true story, a young man recounts the relentless haunting that has plagued him and his family since childhood. From eerie music emanating from closets to phantom footsteps on ceilings, the terror begins when they move into an apartment in Alameda. As the family relocates from city to city—Concord, Oakley, Brentwood—the malevolent presence follows, escalating its torment with each move. The entity manifests through disturbing phenomena: objects moving on their own, disembodied voices, and terrifying apparitions, including a girl with three knife cuts on her face and a mysterious boy who tries to warn him of impending danger.

Desperate for relief, he attempts to cleanse his home, only to provoke a violent backlash that endangers his life and the lives of those around him. Even after seeking help from a priest and performing an exorcism, the haunting persists, suggesting that some forces are not easily vanquished. This harrowing account serves as a cautionary tale about the unseen shadows that may follow us, regardless of how far we run, and it questions the boundaries between reality and the supernatural.

In this eerie and unsettling true story, a young man shares his chilling encounters with Ouija boards throughout his life. From his first experience as a child where a broken board mysteriously repairs itself overnight, to a spirit that communicates with him using family initials he couldn't possibly know, his fascination with the supernatural deepens. But when he breaks a promise to his deceased mother and uses a Ouija board to contact her, the consequences are both emotionally powerful and deeply unsettling. The encounter with his mother’s spirit sets off a chain of strange events, including a room that remains unnaturally hot for days and a profound sense of guilt that haunts him.

As he grows older, the encounters escalate further when he and his girlfriend Kyla invite a playful yet increasingly possessive spirit into their lives. What begins as a harmless fascination soon turns terrifying, as the spirit starts interacting physically with them, controlling their movements and sending objects flying. In the end, the narrator is left questioning whether he has truly severed the connection with these otherworldly forces, or if they continue to watch from the shadows, waiting for the next chance to make contact. This story serves as a powerful reminder that some doors, once opened, can never be fully closed.
